Warriors Klay Thompson to miss Cavaliers game

Warriors guard Klay Thompson will miss his first NBA game Friday against Cleveland as he travels to the Bahamas to attend his paternal grandfather's funeral, and according to the team, his status for Sunday's game at Portland is undetermined.

Dewitt Thompson, the father of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently passed away in the Bahamas at age 94.

"Hopefully he takes as much time as he needs," center Andrew Bogut said.

"Those things are more important than basketball, so we respect his time and his needs."

Thompson has a streak of 214 consecutive games played and in a 26-point performance in Wednesday's 111-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers became the first player in NBA history to reach 500 made 3-pointers through his first three seasons.

Thompson is tied for second in the NBA with 178 3-pointers this season.
